Didn't mean to put words in your mouth.  David referred to it as condescension,
my repetition of that word was merely in reference to his comment.  I should
have put it in scare quotes.

The "hate Unix" reference is from David's own comments regarding your blog.

Apologies.

I wonder what Henry Spencer would say about reinventing Windows 98 poorly
as a warmup exercise.
